The last pic heightened my interest. From the looks of it, we are going to meet in person either the last Element, Graphite Edge or ARG Vice President, Black Vise. I lean towards the latter. Other than that, this looks like a ship tease volume.

The thing is: I don't read Accel World for Haru. And I most certainly don't read it for Rin. And while I appreciate Niko and Raker to spice things up, it's mostly because they add new facets to the main relationship which is Haru-KYH. So, adding one loli after another may be tolerable as long as the main relationship isn't neglected. OreShura is a very good example how this is being done properly. Unfortunately, based on the spoilers I've read, this is not the case here.

Now don't get me wrong, this is purely my personal opinion, and other readers may come to completely different conclusions. But based on what I've heard, Accel World gets more and more diluted. The crown jewel of the story whose character development and whose mysteries behind her have been carrying the storyline so far is KYH. Reducing her to a stagnant one-of-many in favor of adding more crying lolis is about the best way I can think of to make me lose interest.

Too bad.

True however we may get more insight into KYH's past in the next volume.

Spoiler for Reason:

Due to the Wolfram Cerberus appearing before Haru in person, we may get an idea of the inner workings of ARG. Specifically, White Cosmos' relationship with them and her reason to help/join them. Whether exiling KYH from her home is part of that plan.

I have to agree with you on one count, sir. The series was originally about getting to Level 10 and finding out what's Brain Burst, but...Haru is as of now Level 5, he still has low self-esteem, and while he's grown he's still nowhere near the stage to make the final push.

That said, Accel World is a unique series. The author managed to show you can break the cookie cutter protagonist model and flourish, let alone sell. The ending may be really far off, but it's one I want to see. Compared to other seinen and shounen series, this one actually managed to interest me (though I can't convince you how much) to watch and read every bit.

Aside from SC meeting Wolfram Cerberus in RL and the three rogue Red Prominence members attacking Nega Nebulous.

I'm still reading the book. I still have 1/3 left.

Spoiler for some spoilers:

It looks as there was a plot not planned on the Red Prominence side that led to the attack.
As for WC actually meeting Haru, he chickened out at the last moment.
I also found that AR had been affected by the ISS kit as well.

Thank you, Tri-ring.

Spoiler for Response:

So, they did it hastily then. I am guessing they wanted a friendly match but escalated from there.
...What... Come on, Wolfram at least talk to Haru about ARG.
Not good. What will happen to Rin?

hey tri, when you have read it, can you give us a summary? I could use any piece of information to update my AW chart
